    I'm looking for a tool that i used many years ago when we went through XP hardening. I was able to see what directory or where in the registry applications and services where having issues accessing.

    Does this sound familiar? If not, do you guys have suggestions of something that you may have used before?

    Thanks in advanace!

    It’s possibly Process Monitor that you have in mind. Download, unzip it and run version 3.03 (it doesn’t need installing), from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx 

    Because of the huge number of activities, it can be made easier to understand by de-selecting some of the activities. The activities can be toggled on/off by clicking them on the Toolbar, they are Registry, File, Networking, Processes/Threads and Profiling. Also, click Autoscroll on the Toolbar to see the current real-time events.
